QLTTTID Find the range, median, upper and lower quartiles, and interquartile range for the following set of data. 18, 20, 18, 12, 21, 2, 18, 17, 16, 10, 14 ‘The greatest aumber in the data set is 21.’The least number is 2. The range is 21 ~ 2 or 19. ‘To find the quartiles, arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest 2 10 12 13 14 15 17 18 18 20 21 ‘The median is 15. The numbers below 15 are 2, 10, 12, 1, and 14. The median of the humbers below 15 is 12, so the lower quartile is 12. The numbers above 15 are 17, 18, 18, 30, and 21, The median of the numbers above 15 is 18, so the upper quartile is 18. The interquartile range is 18 ~ 12 or 6. ieome data Sets, a few of tho values are much greater than or ess than the rest ofthe data, Data | that are more than 1.5 times the interquartile range less than the lower quartile or greater than the upper quartile are called outliers. LTUTTAB) Fina any outliers for the set of data given in Example 1. ‘The interquartile range is 18~12 or 6. ‘Multiply the interquartile range by 1.5. 6x15=9 ‘Any data more than 9 above the upper quartile or below the lower quartile are outliers. Find the limits of the outliers. Subtract 9 from the lower quartile. 12-9=3 ‘Add 9 to the upper quartile. 18+ 9 = 27 ‘The limits of the outliers are 3 and 27. The only data point outside this range is 2, s0 the only outlier is 2.
